How do you counter this effectively, with any civ?

Protoss: Colossi with Thermal Lance Upgrade or High Templar with Storms. Chargelots (Zealots with Charge Upgrade) as meatshield + some stalkers, sentries with Guardian Shield
Terran: Siege Tanks and Vikings. U need the Vikings to give Siege Tanks Vision since they can shoot further than they can actually see
Zerg: e.g. Banelings vs. Marines and Mutas to snipe Tanks. Of course some other stuff as meatshield too

Its all about control.

Banelings and infestors kill marines but tanks kill banes and infestors. Mutalisks kill tanks but marines kill mutalisks.

As protoss really just a normal gateway unit and a few colossus or immortal mix will deal with tank marine quite easily. Just remeber to send zealots in front (also going in with immortals first followed by zealots is good against mass tanks).

As terran like Coma said tank viking beat marines and tanks but if the marine tanking player catches you unsieged you will definitely lose. Very useful thing to do especially in lower levels is if your oppenent has many tanks sieged up near your base load 1 or 2 medivacs with maras and marines and drop his them into his mineral line. Directly attacking a sieged up player in TvT is usually veery bad.
